Martin Home Furnishings, San Diego, Calif., will more than double the size of its High Point showroom on the fifth floor of Furniture Plaza from 6,500 to 14,000 square feet, with an entrance directly in front of the escalators.

Several showrooms were combined for the project, and a complete floor-to-ceiling renovation has now been completed. As High Point becomes a more important and permanent venue for Martin Home Furnishings, the company wanted to showcase its expanding brands and categories in a larger space.

Martin will highlight its growing Kathy Ireland Home brand and present products that will showcase Ireland's influence on design.

"Kathy ireland Home remains very important to us," said Martin's president, Gil Martin. "We are thrilled to finally have a complete showcase for her designs in High Point."
 
The larger showroom also will allow Martin to highlight a major expansion of its Timeless Transitional product segment.

"It's essential that we have enough space to express our direction and provide great ideas to our retailers on how they might showcase our designs," said Martin's vice president of design, Curt Christian.
 
Finally, Martin wanted his new showroom to incorporate a respite for customers.

"We will have a dining area with windows, a great view, and an inviting, informal area to relax at the end of a shopping day and enjoy a glass of wine, review notes or just wind down," Martin said.

Lunch will be served daily, and a hand-selected wine list will be available for customers to enjoy at the end of the day.
